User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

Forwarding a message always is (HTML)-formatted as <pre> even if preference "editor.quotesPreformatted" is set to "false" (which is normally said to produce a simple "<span>"-formatting). So there are no line breaks any more within paragraphs - resulting in long lines. I think the "reply" prefs are not taken into account but are set to (output from "grep -r "reply" *" in ".thunderbird")
prefs.js:user_pref("mail.identity.id1.reply_to", "");
prefs.js:user_pref("mail.identity.id2.reply_to", "");
prefs.js:user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_originalmessage", "");
prefs.js:user_pref("mailnews.reply_header_type", 0);
whereas my (changed) "quot" prefs are:
prefs.js:user_pref("mail.identity.id1.auto_quote", false);
prefs.js:user_pref("mailnews.quotingPrefs.version", 1);
The "flowed" prefs are all default. Are there other prefs involved? Maybe the "quot" ones should be used also in forwarding?
The problem only appeared in latest TB 1.5.0.5 version, I think, at least only lately.
Remark. Around the time when the problem first occured I had a crash locking the profile which I could only restore by creating a new one and copying all files from the former to the new one and then deleting the old one per "thunderbird --profilemanager". But I think that doesn't relate.
